Photo of the day

From the Telegraph photos of the day gallery. Nature red in tooth and claw, indeed.

Two red-faced polar bear cubs look up from behind their mother – after finishing their lunch. The trio were feeding on a seal and while the female polar bear was able to keep her fur fairly clean, her young cubs were quite happy to get messy. The little family were photographed out on the sea ice, off the coast of Baffin Island, in the Canadian Arctic north, of Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut.
